How to Make No Knead Small Baguette Stecca
- In a medium bowl, combine 3 cups (375g) all-purpose flour, 1 1/2 teaspoons (9g) table salt, 1 teaspoon (4g) sugar, and 1 1/4 teaspoons (7g) active dry yeast.
- Add 1 1/2 cups (355ml) lukewarm water and mix with a wooden spoon or your hand until a wet, sticky dough forms (about 30 seconds).
- Cover the bowl and let rise at room temperature for 12-18 hours, or until doubled in size and bubbly.
- Generously flour a clean work surface.
- Gently scrape the dough onto the floured surface.
- Fold the dough over itself 2-3 times and shape it into a slightly flattened ball.
- Brush the dough with 1 tablespoon olive oil and sprinkle with 1/4 teaspoon coarse sea salt.
- Generously dust a clean tea towel with wheat bran, cornmeal, or flour.
- Place the dough on the tea towel, seam-side down.
- Lightly dust the top with more bran/cornmeal/flour if needed.
- Loosely fold the towel over the dough and let rise in a warm place for 1-2 hours, or until almost doubled in size.
- Preheat oven to 500°F (260°C) with a rack in the center, 30 minutes before the end of the second rise.
- Oil a 13x18x1-inch baking sheet.
- Divide the dough into 4 equal pieces.
- Gently stretch each piece into a stick shape, about the length of the pan.
- Place the sticks onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 1 inch between each.
- Brush with olive oil and sprinkle with the remaining 1/2 teaspoon coarse sea salt.
- Bake for 15-25 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown. Watch closely during the last few minutes.
- Cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
- If the crust softens, reheat briefly in a hot oven to crisp up.
